If you are not an enthusiast/hobbyist, and you just want a nice little projector that puts a pretty good image up on the screen (or white wall?), the HC705HD does fine. In fact it does very well overall, except in one area (blacks).

Another way to consider it is this way. It does just just fine on everything but dark scenes, and does lack a little punch on scenes with mostly bright areas but with some significant contrasty dark areas. Feed it brighter scenes, and it looks great for a low cost projector. That’s especially true of sports viewing. This is a projector that could easily find itself in use in sports bars, as well as your family room.

If you plan to do a lot of viewing, in a fully darkened room with dark walls, you should probably choose another projector, but this one’s just dandy for the typical family room which is relatively bright, by comparison, with light walls and ceiling.

Color temp isn’t quite as right on, as many other projectors, as the image is slightly cool – favoring blues over reds. Still, looks pretty good to me.

Here are a variety of images, most don’t have critical dark areas, and look great
